Dickens as an Actor.

Carlyle referred to Dickens as an actor, having seen him in one of his amateur performances. He gave it as his opinion that Dickens genius was essentially his trionic and mimetic; that with his faculty of keen and minute observation, his general alertness of mind and body, his mobile power of gesture and expression, he had all the requisites of a successful actor, and that had he lived at a great period of the drama. in the Elizabethan age for instance, his genius would have found its appropriate outlet on the stage. lie would have become popular comic actor, writing humorous piece now and then, perhaps, as was the custom of such actors in those days. But while living under different conditions and working with his pen, his books still re- tained and revealed the native genius of their author. They had the sustained, if rather jerky, hveliness, the pleasant tricks and mannerisrns of humorous DOT traiture upon the stage. He was, in short, born actor.-The Atheneum.

inc sea was breaking everywhere as far as the eye could reach, and it seemed impossible for any vessel to live in it for moment; yet on the schooner came, passing breaker after breaker uninj9red, lne extraordinary thing being that, al- though the huge waves raised their curled heads almost to the top of her masts, and the fall of any of them upon her deck would have crushed her like an egg shell, not one seemed permitted to touch her. On the contrary, as if by miracle, the sea became smooth ere 1t reached her, and she left shining track behind. After some minutes of thrilling suspense, she was hurled high and dry upon the beach, and every one of her crew rescued uniniured.
 Then came the explanation of the | strange phenomenon which had so mys- tified Superintendent Darby. Two large casks filled with fish oil had been lashed in the fore rigging, and, securely lashel beside them, two of the strongest sailors in the crew, with long wooden ladies in hand, had been throwing the oil high up in the air, where it was caught by the wind and carried far to leeward in ad- vance of the vessel, spreading over the sea wish such effect that, while it was raging, pitching and Lreak.ng all about her, not barrel of water fell upon the Arno's deck. believe this may with safety be claimed as one of the earliest recorded in. stances of the practical application of oil to the troubled waters Scribner's Maga- | zine,

"The Queens Pipe."

In the center of the tobacco ware houses at the London docks there is an immense kiln, which is kept continually turning, day and night, and goes by. the name of the queens tobacco pipe The English government has a different way of treating confiscated articles than that in use in this country, one of them being to utilize them as fuel for what is termed tho queens smoking. Whenever mer- chandise is seized for nonpayment of duty. or because it is considered under the law as in a damaged or unstable condition. it is taken to this great kiln and burned there, the owners having no remedy. The only utilization that is made of these seizures is from the sale of the ashes from the furnace, which, to the amount of great many tons a month, are sold by auction to chemical works, and to farmers and others to be used in enriching the soil. There is a similar but smaller queens tobacco pipe in the government tobacco warehouses at Liverpool, these two forming the points of destruction for all confiscated merchandise in the United Kingdom Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

The "Devil.s Code" at stockho,,n.

The royal library at Stockholm con- tainss is remarkable literary curiosity, called the devils code. which is said to be the largest manuscript in the world. Every letter of this gigantic piece of work is, as beautifully formed as if it were infinitely and carefully drawn, aid it seems almost impossible that it should have been done by single human being The devils code was brought to Sweden from Prague after the thirty years war, and The Deutsche Hausfrauen Zeitung tells the following story of its origin:
 A poor monk, who had been condemned to death, was told that his sentence would be commuted if he were able to copy the whole of tine code in a single night. Re lying on the impossibility of the task, his judges furnished him with the original, pen and ink, and left him in his well barred prison. 4 drowning man catches at a straw to save himself, and the un- fortunate monk began to try his last inl- possible task with the vain hope of ac- complishing it. Before long, however, he saw that he could not save his life by lis own weak exertions Afraid of a cruel and certain death, and perhaps doubting the promise of better life hereafter, he invoked the aid of the prince Of darkness promising to surrender his sou3 if lie were assisted ill his task. The dark spirit appeared as soon as he was called concluded the contract, sat down Ekt any copying clerk, and the next morning the devils cole was finished. Bostor Transcript.

The Man Who Laughs.

s'I rcra1on,bor, 9 said an oid physician e Baltimore, lately, ''that I travelled in 1888 in stage coach across the Alleghany mountains. from Cumberland to the Ohio river. In the coach were two friends, young men and lawyers, who were going out to settle ia western Pennsylvania.
 "We became well acquainted in the long, leislIrely journey. Both of my fel- low travellers were men of ability and calture; both had good breeding and kindly disposition But their telnpera- ments were widely different.
 "C-- never joked. and rarely smiled. If a Imaginable story was told he listened silently, thought over it an hour, and then began to argue against its probability. If the morning was cloudy he was sure of a storm before night; if the harness broke he was positive we would be detained all day; if the coachman drove fast he knew the man was drunk, and that our necks would be broken.
 "M--, on the contrary, was Q merry, light hearted fellow, full of anecdote and quick repartee. The weather was always delightful for him, the meals delicious, his companions the finest company in the world. He saw every point in the land. scape, every fine outline in the trees or tint ill the fields. He was like a bee, gathering a drop of honey here, another there. His comrade never knew that there was honey to gather. When they left us, I said, There goes one man to success. the other to defeat.
 ''I visited lately the city in which they settled, and asked their history, being anxious to know whether my prophecy had been correct. M is still living a leading jurist, a man of great and benignant influence. C. was dead Worried hlmself into the grave. said al ol1 man who remembered him. "- Youths Companion.

The Per.ian Antelope.

The Persian antelope seems to be a duplicate of his distinguished American relative in general all round sense; he is, if anything, even more nimble footed than the spring heeled habitue of the west, possesses the same characteristic jerky jump, and hoists the same con spicuous white signal of retreat. He is a decidedly simmer built quadruped, how ever. than the American antelope; the body is of the same square build, but is sadly lacking in plumpness, and he seems to be an altogether lankier and less well favored animal. For this constitutional difference he is probably indebted to the barren and inhoSpitable character of the country over which he roams, as com pared with the splendid feeding grounds of the far west. The Persians sometimes hunt the antelope on horseback, with falcons and greyhounds; the falcons are taught to fly in advance and attack the fleeing fleeing antelope about the head. and so confuse ttaem and rctardd their progress ip the interest of the pursuing hounds and horsemcn.- Outing.

A DeFbyshire Story.

A correspondent calls to mind that in Derbyshire a story was told about fifty years ago which has some resemblance to the story of Tam O Shanter, as related or adapted by Burns. Upon dark even- ing. as a man was riding homeward, he passed large house which was all ablaze with light. From within came a sound of music and dancing. The house, he knew, was said to be haunted. and, being curious to see what was going on, he went in at the door. He was invited by the revelers, who appeared to be ordinary men and women. to supper. According ly he sat down at the supper table, but before he began to eat he asked his host to say grace. The guests said, ''Hush!'' but the host did not say grace. Then the stranger shut his eyes and said grace himself tlevoutly. When he opened them all was still, the inmates had gone and lie was left in utter darkness. Notes and Queries.

Pure In Heart.

Almost every one appreciates the duty of governing the tongue, although few people dwell upon the necessity of con a recognized duty, but right thinking is too often classed among the impossibili ties of life
 '.It may be wicked to feel so. but cant help my thoughts, apologetically says some detractor.
 The excuse is a generally accepted one, but it has not sufficient foundation in fact. Isolated thoughts cannot always be controlled. They flash into the mind Ike obstinate sprites, and the more one fixes the attention upon them in disap- proval the more impossible does it be- come to expel them.
 It is, however, within the limits of hu- man effort to control the tendency of the thoughts. When a malicious or frivo- lous member of the tribe starts into being they can be best combated, not by out and out fighting. but by turning in stantly to another class of valuable and interesting reflection.
 The mind may be so thoroughly disci- plined that its thoughts shall be drilled battalions of soldiers. They will doubt less be always raw troops, not marching according to strict military rule, and not In all cases sure to obey upon the mo- F uhent. but they will steadily improve with practice, conforming themselves more alsl more to the true and the good. Ii,
 Psychologists have a great deal to say about the force of habit. Dispose the brain toward certain line of thought and it will keep it with increasing steaGi- ness, for purely physical reasons. It has its automatic action, as the fingers have theirs, when they so accustom them selves to seeking the keys of the piano that they find them without the aid of the eyes.
 The discipline of the thoughts contrib utes to the intellectual as well as moral development. There are in all lives un- occupied intervals of time, when one is riding to and from his place of business or taking his constitutional, for ex, ample. He cannot read or study to ad. vantage at such moments, but instead oi letting the mind drift whither it will, he can fix it upon the last poem he has read or upon some truth from an author oi value.-Yo Youth'B Companion

.Making Artificial whetstones.

A foreign scientific paper gives the fol- lowing method of making artificial whet- stones: Gelatine of good quality is dis solved in its own weight of water, the operation being conducted in dark room. To the solution 1-9 per cent. of bichro- mate of potash is added, which has been previously dissolved in little water A quantity of very fine emery, equal to nine times the weight of the gelatine, is intimately mixed with the gelatine sol,l- tion. Pulverized flint may be substituted for emery. Tie mass is nodded into any desired shape, and is then consolf, lated by heavy pressure. It is dried by exposure to strong sunlight for several hours.- Chicago Times.
